“HOW MAINSTREAM MEDIA IGNORES UK MILITARY SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL: Britain does much more than simply sell weapons to Israel, but you wouldn’t know it from watching the BBC.”
“But there’s another side to the problem of the media: the stories that are not covered and the uncomfortable truths (for Israel and its supporters) that are not acknowledged.
This is particularly the case when it comes to the issue of how the UK military has contributed to Israel’s assault on Gaza.”
[..]
“The failure of the mainstream media to address the genocide in Gaza is all too clear when looking at the euphemistic language they use and the sources they highlight.
But we also have to look beneath the surface: to the stories that the media choose not to pursue because that would draw attention to the complicity of all those at the heart of the British establishment who have helped to facilitate the war crimes currently taking place in Gaza.”
“Britain is experimenting with new drone technology that Israel’s military uses in Gaza. The British army conducted exercises on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire to test a drone made by Israeli tech firm Xtend in December.”
[..]
“The company’s drones are reported by mainstream Western and Israeli media as enabling Israel to target Hamas terrorists in an urban warfare setting. Yet Israel’s war in Gaza has been devastating to ordinary Palestinians, including intentionally targeting civilians.“
“DAVID LAMMY’S BIG IDEA: NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNDER LABOUR: The man who wants to be foreign secretary is reassuring elite audiences that UK foreign policy will not seriously change under a Keir Starmer government - a strategy confirmed in Labour’s election manifesto.”
“Why are Lammy and Labour so supportive of Israel, despite the extent of its atrocities and British public opposition to the attacks on Gaza?
One reason is that Lammy is Washington’s man in Labour and cannot be seen to upset policy-makers in the US who consistently facilitate Israel’s onslaught on Palestinians.
Lammy has constantly signalled that Labour foreign policy under his leadership will deviate little from Washington’s priorities, and he has been a regular visitor to a string of elite, establishment fora in the US.
The other reason is that Lammy is, like 20 percent of his fellow Labour MPs, a recipient of funds from the Israel lobby. Since becoming an MP in 2000, he has accepted donations from the Israel lobby on numerous occasions, the value amounting to £32,550, Declassified has found.”
“BRITAIN GREENLIT DOZENS OF ARMS DEALS WITH ISRAEL AMID GAZA WAR: Trade secretary Kemi Badenoch kept arming Israel throughout its brutal onslaught on Gaza, new data reveals.”
“[UK Trade Secretary] Kemi #Badenoch has not stopped any arms deals with Israel since October 7, instead allowing British companies to export components for military aircraft.”
[..]
“The UK government’s decision to greenlight more than 100 such export deals with Israel over the last eight months could open up British ministers to international arrest applications over complicity in war crimes.
Emily Apple from Campaign Against Arms Trade (#CAAT) told Declassified: ‘These figures show that it’s business as usual for arms dealers to break international law and continue arming Israel’s genocide.
‘The #Conservative government and the UK arms trade are complicit in the horrendous war crimes that Israel is committing against Palestinian people in Gaza.’”
“ISRAEL LOBBY FUNDED A QUARTER OF BRITISH MPS: Exclusive: Declassified is publishing the full list of British MPs who received funding from pro-Israel lobbyists.”
“Some 180 of Britain’s 650 MPs in the last parliament accepted funding from pro-Israel lobby groups or individuals during their political career, Declassified can reveal.
That includes 130 Conservative MPs, 41 Labour MPs and three Liberal Democrats.
Three members of the DUP, two independents and Reform’s only MP complete the list.
The total value of the donations from pro-Israel groups, individuals, and Israeli state institutions amounts to over one million pounds.”
“Matt Kennard is an author and head of investigations at Declassified UK.
He came by JOE Towers on the release of his new book ‘The Racket’ to chat about America's chokehold on Western democracies, the UK's complicity in Israel's campaign on Gaza, and how a #Labour government will do little to change Britain's moral stance on the global stage.”
“ANDREW #FEINSTEIN: WHY I AM STANDING AGAINST KEIR #STARMER: Labour’s leader thinks he can get away with supporting genocide in Gaza. It’s time to teach him a lesson in his own backyard.”
“Our democracy is in crisis. The two main parties are virtually indistinguishable in their offers of permanent austerity, forever wars and environmental degradation.
Keir Starmer, the MP for Holborn and St. Pancras where my family and I have lived for around 22 years, is emblematic of this crisis. His politics are mendacious, unprincipled and in the interests of his billionaire donors rather than the constituents he was elected to serve.
I have seen real leadership in action: I was privileged to serve under Nelson #Mandela as an MP in South Africa. His leadership was selfless, principled, accountable, transparent and honest. Everything that Keir Starmer is not.”
“ICC MUST INVESTIGATE BRITISH MINISTERS FOR COMPLICITY IN GAZA WAR CRIMES: Now the International Criminal Court is seeking to issue an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, it must investigate his accomplices in the British government.”
“Seven British ministers – including Rishi #Sunak, David #Cameron, Grant #Shapps and Kemi #Badenoch – must be investigated for aiding Israel”
[..]
“British ministers have consistently defended Israel’s attacks on Palestinians as the death toll has mounted to the tens of thousands. They explicitly reject South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
Evidence suggests UK ministers just don’t care about international law or how many people – Palestinians or Britons – are killed in Gaza.
At the same time, the British government is refusing to publish the legal advice it has received on whether Israel is violating international law in Gaza.”
Beaucoup de pays "amis" d'Israël ont aidé Netanyahu à servir des narratifs faux ("le droit de se défendre" qui en réalité est illégal pour une puissance occupante, par exemple)
Je me demande quelles données compromettantes Israël a-t-il collecté avec ses multiples logiciels espion (le dernier, peu commenté en France #Sherlock)
Absolument ! Si vous vous souvenez de l'épisode de Jeffrey #Epstein, on croit largement qu'Epstein travaillait pour l'organisation #israélienne de renseignement #Mossad alors qu'il trafiquait des jeunes femmes ! Si c'est vrai, il recueillait sans aucun doute des preuves incriminantes sur beaucoup de personnes puissantes !
Je me souviens surtout des téléphones portables de dirigeants EU piratés (France / GB / USA) et personne n'a condamné le gouvernement israëlien comme iles même l'ont pourtant fait contre les #USA et sa #NSA avant. 🤔
